Great info, Thanks everyone! I've been reading quite a bit this evening. I think I'll have to do a bit more research. For $1500 or less there are a ton of choices. The IBM's are a bit steep, but I understand paying for quality and I have no problem with that. The wide screen is not a need, but I think a 14" XGA would be. AS for speed, 1.0GHz is the min. I'd want. The cost is an employer expense, but i want to spend wisely. If I can get wat I want for $1100 thats cool too.
So far I like:
Toshiba Tecra A4
Sony Vaio S170B1
IBM T42 series (highest price)
IBM X40 series
HP/Compaq NC6000 (lowest price)
Compaq Presario V2140US
Again, thanks for the input.
Mark
